“Don't miss it!! Best restaurant we have been in our three weeks trip around Vietnam and Cambodia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2010

We loved this cozy restaurant so much that we stayed there for lunch and dinner the day after (and we have not repeated a restaurant in our three weeks honeymoon trip around Vietnam and Camboya).

We also enjoyed of a two hours long cooking lesson. I liked the delichomemade curry so much that I was sad of not being able to taste it when I went back to Spain and I asked if there was any possibility of taking a cooking lessons. And we were lucky: just three hours later we were wearing an appron.

Two cooks just for Dani and myself, who took us to the market and explained us (in an over average English) the dishes we had previously chosen with patience and attention to the details. If we thought that an ingredient could be difficult to find in our city (Barcelona), they tried to find a substitute. We cooked a starter, a tasty mango salad, the homemade green curry and a desert (banana sagoo, delicious) and all these costed 10$ per person (food included).

As the stomach is my weak point I am very concious on cleanliness when it comes to food. After following the cooking class I can tell you that the restaurant not only looks clean, it certainly is.

If after my review you have any doubt let me explain you that we had the opportunity to meet the owner, a really kind Cambodian man who has lived in Paris for more than 30 years and who grows his own (organic) vegetables. He explained us that soon he will open a cooking school (free) for teaching young people in Cambodia. Maybe having dinner there you can help more than buying to all these children selling postcards at the Angkor temples at the time they should be in school.

“Great food at great prices”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2010

We stopped at the Anchor Palm because we liked the outside seating, after a long day a comfortable chair was in need of, and the chairs were indeed comfortable.

Food was great, we ended up eating here for 2 nights as we enjoyed it so much. Eating the set dinner and the famous fish Amok. Our 2nd night, The fresh spring rolls, a Chicken soup with onions and mushrooms (I do not recall the name) Eggplant and Pork, and the Vegetable noodles which were a little bland, but still very nice.

Overall for the Price, comfort and service I would say that this is an excellent restaurant,



Service was excellent, and for the price the overall

U will see a big banner saying lonely planet recommended restaurant & a lovely picture of the amok set.

Well, it did get me FOOL!!!!

When the food came luke-warm, i know its the end. A right minded asian would know that for curry dishes, it must be served HOT!! or u will risk ruining your entire trip & writing review of toilets in Cambodia.

On the pricey side if u are to compare around for the restaurant of these ambiance...

“Very Average food but good service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 30, 2010

We just ate here tonight and I would agree whole heartedly with the previous poster - pretty ordinary food but it is the usual pub street prices - cheap and the service was good. Better options I think though in this area

“Mediocre food for the budget-conscious”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2010

The restaurant advertises with the fact that it won the "Restaurant of the Year" award in 2006; things must have changed a little since then.

When my wife and I went there for lunch yesterday, we were greeted by a very friendly waiter who promptly brought us two cold face towels; these were much appreciated with temperature currently going through the roof.

The menu had the usual "westernized" Khmer dishes such as Beef Luk Lak, Samlor (soups) and stir-fried items. Prices for main courses range from USD 1.50 to USD 4.50, with drinks starting at USD 1.00 for soft drinks, USD 1.50 to USD 3.50 for beers (Beer Lao as well, good indicator that they target the backpacker market) and USD 2.00 to USD 3.50 for a glass of wine.

We ordered the "Angkor Palm Platter for Two", a combination of Spare ribs, Fish Amok, stir-fried Water Spinach, Mango Salad, Fresh Spring Rolls, Green Curry, Rice, as well as a dessert. The platter came at USD 14.00 for two. Presentation was a bit lackluster, but worse was that the food came lukewarm. Some of the dishes, notably the spring rolls and the vegetables, were far from fresh though not spoiled; just a couple of days in the fridge.

Service was pretty good but then we were pretty much the only guests.

I would recommend the restaurant to someone on a budget that is OK with so-so food. Location is great though as the restaurant is opposite the old market; making for very entertaining people watching.

Incidentally, their main web page contains malware; the address I have given is their information page which is threat-free.
